  The rise of data-driven scientific investigations has made research data management (RDM) essential for good scientific practice. Implementing RDM is a complex challenge for research communities, infrastructures, and host organizations. Generic RDM guidelines often do not address practical questions, and disciplinary best practices can be overwhelming without proper context. Once guidelines are established, expanding their reach and keeping them up to date is challenging. The RDMkit is an open community-led resource designed as a gateway to reach the wealth of RDM knowledge, tools, training, and resources in life sciences. The RDMkit provides best-practice guidelines on common RDM tasks expected of data stewards and researchers, specific data management challenges and solutions from life science domains, and tool assemblies showcasing holistic solutions to support the research data life cycle. Built on a reusable open infrastructure, the RDMkit allows organizations to create their own guidelines using it as a blueprint.

Dynamics of Interlayer Na-Ions in Ga-Substituted Na2Zn2TeO6 (NZTO) Studied by Variable-Temperature Solid-State 23Na NMR Spectroscopy and DFT Modeling.

  Local Na-coordination and dynamics of Na2–xZn2–xGaxTeO6; x = 0.00 (NZTO), 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, were studied by variable-temperature, 23Na NMR methods and DFT AIMD simulations. Structure and dynamics were probed by NMR in the temperature ranges of 100–293 K in a magnetic field of 18.8 T and from 293 up to 500 K in a magnetic field of 11.7 T. Line shapes and T1 relaxation constants were analyzed. At 100 K, the otherwise dynamic Na-ions are frozen out on the NMR time scale, and a local structure characterization was performed for Na-ions at three interlayer sites. On increasing the temperature, complex peak shape coalescences occurred, and at 293 K, the Na NMR spectra showed some averaging due to Na-ion dynamics. A further increase to 500 K did not reveal any new peak shape variations until the highest temperatures, where an apparent peak splitting was observed, similar to what was observed in the 18.8 T experiments at lower temperatures. A three-site exchange model coupled with reduced quadrupolar couplings due to dynamics appear to explain these peak shape observations. The Ga substitution increases the Na-jumping rate, as proved by relaxation measurements and by a decrease in temperature for peak coalescence. The estimated activation energy for Na dynamics in the NZTO sample, from relaxation measurements, corresponds well to results from DFT AIMD simulations. Upon Ga substitution, measured activation energies are reduced, which is supported, in part, by DFT calculations. Addressing the correlated motion of Na-ions appears important for solid-state ion conductors since benefits can be gained from the decrease in activation energy upon Ga substitution, for example.

  The rapid electrification of our society and the transition towards a larger share of intermittent renewable energy sources in our electricity grids will dramatically increase the demand for cheap energy storage. Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) show a lot of promise to provide the required stationary storage at the grid level at low cost owing to the natural abundance and geographical availability of sodium. In addition, alkali-rich cathode materials exhibiting anionic redox contributions have garnered much attention over the past decade as a strategy to increase the specific capacity. In this work, we investigate for the first time the sodium-rich compound Na5FeO4 as a potential low-cost, environment-friendly cathode for sodium ion batteries from first principles using density functional theory. We investigate three low-energy polymorphs related to the antifluorite structure, verify their dynamical and mechanical stabilities, and show that they exhibit promising ion diffusive properties. As alkali-rich cathode materials are prone to oxygen loss during cycling, we investigate cycling stability with respect to phase transformations and oxygen loss and identify in particular one promising cycling interval that can reversibly shuttle 1.5 Na+ per formula unit between Na5FeO4 and Na3.5FeO4 with a gravimetric energy density exceeding 360 W h kg−1. Investigations into possible redox mechanisms reveal that the charge compensation occurs simultaneously on Fe- and O-atoms in FeO4-tetrahedra, which suggests that Na5FeO4, if realised experimentally as a cathode material, would join the family of combined cationic/anionic redox compounds.

  In the work presented here, we prepared Ga-substituted NZTO (Na2–xZn2–xGaxTeO6, x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) layered materials with a soft chemical, citric acid-based synthesis method and characterized these by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), 23Na and 125Te NMR, and by density functional theory (DFT) modeling. The influence of randomly distributed Ga cations on the 125Te NMR spectra confirms the successful synthesis. With DFT-based linear response computations, we show that the local distribution of Na ions in the two neighboring interlayers influences the 125Te chemical shift, consistent with observations. DFT modeling suggests that some of the Na sites are rarely occupied in pure NZTO but become favorable upon Ga substitution. There are clear indications that Ga substitution gives an uneven distribution of Na ions in neighboring interlayers and that the Na structure in one layer affects the adjacent layers.

  In recent years, the scientific community has shown an increasing interest in regards to the investigation of novel materials for the intercalation of lithium atoms, suitable for application as cathodes in the new generations of Li-ion batteries. Within this framework, we have computed the relative structural stability, the electronic structure, the elastic and dynamic properties of Li2MSiO4 compounds (M = Mn, Co, Ni) by means of first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The so-obtained structural parameters of the examined phases are in agreement with previous reports. The energy differences between different polymorphs are found to be small, and most of these structures are dynamically stable. The band structures and density of states are computed to analyse the electronic properties and characterise the chemical bonding. The single crystal elastic constants are calculated for all the examined modifications, proving their mechanical stability. These Li2MSiO4 materials are found to present a ductile behaviour upon deformation. The diffusion coefficients of Li ions, calculated at room temperature for all the examined modifications, reveal a poor conductivity for this class of materials.

  The partial vibrational density of states (pVDOS) of ice Ih, as simulated by first principle modeling based on density functional theory (DFT), is utilized for computing the Cartesian components of the proton and oxygen quantum kinetic energies, Ke(H) and Ke(O) respectively, along and perpendicular to the hydrogen bonds. The DFT method was found to yield better agreement with deep inelastic neutron scattering (DINS) measurements than the semi empirical (SE) calculations. The advantage of using the DFT method is to enable us to resolve the external and internal phonon bands of the Cartesian projections of the pVDOS, and hence those of the lattice and vibrational components of Ke(H). We show that a pVDOS analysis is a valuable tool in testing scattering results of complex systems and suggest its potential to explore competing quantum effects, e.g. on Ke(H) across phase transitions in water.

  Due to the low absorption coefficients of crystalline silicon-based solar cells, researchers have focused on non-silicon semiconductors with direct band gaps for the development of novel photovoltaic devices. In this study, we use density functional theory to model the electronic structure of a large database of candidates to identify materials with ideal properties for photovoltaic applications. The first screening is operated at the GGA level to select only materials with a sufficiently small direct band gap. We extracted twenty-seven candidates from an initial population of thousands, exhibiting GGA band gap in the range 0.5–1 eV. More accurate calculations using a hybrid functional were performed on this subset. Based on this, we present a detailed first-principle investigation of the four optimal compounds, namely, TlBiS2, Ba3BiN, Ag2BaS2, and ZrSO. The direct band gap of these materials is between 1.1 and 2.26 eV. In the visible region, the absorption peaks that appear in the optical spectra for these compounds indicate high absorption intensity. Furthermore, we have investigated the structural and mechanical stability of these compounds and calculated electron effective masses. Based on in-depth analysis, we have identified TlBiS2, Ba3BiN, Ag2BaS2, and ZrSO as very promising candidates for photovoltaic applications.

  Transition metal containing polyanion compounds are effective excellent electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their high intrinsic electrochemical potentials and to the resulting high energy density. Iron sodium phosphates, in particular, are attractive due to the large natural abundance of both Na and Fe. These materials have been extensively studied in their most common olivine structures: maricite and triphylite. In this work, we expand the current knowledge of this class of materials by investigating the structural properties and the energetics of a series of modification exhibiting different coordination for the intermetallic atom M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni by means of density functional theory calculations. An expanded-volume NaFePO4 configuration with the zeolite ABW structure is predicted to be stable at high temperature. This type of structure, presenting a tetrahedral FeO coordination geometry, has been previously reported only for the NaCoPO4 case. A semi-amorphous phase is predicted to be a possible metastable intermediate configuration between the known octahedral coordinated structures and the novel tetrahedral-coordinated one. The electrochemical characterisation of the latter reveals a similar deintercalation potential with respect to triphylite, and a higher diffusion barrier caused by the incompressibility of the PO4 tetrahedra along the diffusive path. This result offers important insight about the correlation between the diffusive properties of ions and their local chemical environment.

  Sodium orthosilicates Na2MSiO4 (M = Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) have attracted much attention due to the possibility of exchanging two electrons per formula unit. They are also found to exhibit great structural stability due to a diamond-like arrangement of tetrahedral groups. In this work, we have systematically studied the possible polymorphism of these compounds by means of density functional theory, optimising the structure of a number of systems with different group symmetries. The ground state is found to be Pc-symmetric for all the considered M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and several similar structures exhibiting different symmetries coexist within a 0.3 eV energy window from this structural minimum. The intercalation/deintercalation potential is calculated for varying transition metal atoms M. Iron sodium orthosilicates, attractive due to the natural abundance of both materials, exhibit a low voltage, which can be enhanced by doping with nickel. The diffusion pathways for Na atoms are discussed, and the relevant barriers are calculated using the nudged elastic band method on top of DFT calculations. Also in this case, nickel impurities would improve the material performances by lowering the barrier heights. Notably, the ionic conductivity is found to be systematically larger with respect to the case of lithium orthosilicates, due to a larger spacing between atomic layers and to the non-directional bonding between Na and the neighbouring atoms. Overall, the great structural stability of the material together with the low barriers for Na diffusion indicates this class of materials as good candidates for modern battery technologies.

  Data management practices across Research Infrastructures (RIs) play a critical role in the production of streamlined Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) data. It is important to assess how Research Data Management (RDM) practices are implemented to understand the strengths and weaknesses of data management services across facilities and organisations. The Norwegian landscape of life science research infrastructures involves a large number of data producers providing services to research users. The BioMedData project, an infrastructure established in 2020, brings together the RIs within the Life Sciences in Norway and aims at improving their data management practices. In 2021, BioMedData together with the partner RIs, initiated the assessment of the data management routines at the RIs to bridge gaps across the data life cycle. The assessment was performed through a questionnaire designed in Data Stewardship Wizard, addressed by the RIs, covering FAIR data principles as well as international requirements (Science Europe, Horizon2020) – the findings included a lack of community-recognised metadata standards within specific domains, and the need to apply and improve responsibilities for data management implementation within the RIs. Here, we provide a follow-up assessment that allows us to assess which RDM practices have been newly implemented or have improved over the past two years across five RIs. This report provides domain-specific findings as well as a direction towards understanding the need to streamline the processes of data production, sharing, and storage in a FAIR and cost-efficient way.

  The BioMedData project, initiated by ELIXIR Norway, aims to connect the largest research infrastructures (RIs) within the Life Sciences in Norway with the scope of improving their data management practises, aiming at the production of findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) data. This deliverable aims at describing and defining the contents of the first BioMedData end-user course, to take place in spring 2022. This activity builds upon two pillars: the existing training activity on Data Management Planning currently offered by ELIXIR Norway and Digital Life Norway and the report on data management gaps published by the BioMedData participants in March 2021. The latter provides a set of field-specific data management recommendations that enrich the content of the former, thus providing the end-users with concrete knowledge on FAIR data based on their domain. The course aims to cover topics covering the whole data life cycle (as shown in the Research Data Management kit by ELIXIR Europe) with a specific focus on the implementation of the FAIR data principles.

This study is supported by a questionnaire, compiled by all the infrastructures involved, covering international requirements (Science Europe, Horizon2020) as well as the FAIR data principles. The investigation revealed a lack of internationally recognised metadata standards and repositories within specific domains. In other cases, the international metadata standards lack attributes representing provenance information of steps prior to data generation. On top of this, the main responsibility for data management implementation is found to often lie with individual researchers and not infrastructures. A more systematic organisation of data management duties and associated budgeting by the research projects would allow the infrastructures to operate a cost recovering support model.
